Help Nadia get through 3 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
A single father in Bloemfontein needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Nadia retrains.
🇿🇦 South Africa564 views
Since a divorce in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $650 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Rent top-up: $330
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Soweto.
